Bugsy all the way. With his purple hair and looks, I could've swore he was a girl.
And from that same generation, there's Will of the Elite 4. He's very...er, feminine. If his name was something neutral, I would've assumed he was a woman by the look of his sprite.

Whenever the coro coro issue revealed small pictures of Nate and Hugh on the cover, many of the forum users mistook Nate as the female player and Hugh as the male character instead of the rival.
But yes, as most have said, I too mistook Bugsy as a female until I played Soul Silver!

The almighty Turtwig is my claim

I honestly never got why people thought Bugsy was a girl. IMO Pokemon has always made the stereotypically assumption that girls hated bugs with Misty being its spokesperson. I even remember one Bug Catcher asking "why girls don't like bugs?". I guess there was that one dude in Petalburg Forest that said bugs would make them very popularr with the ladies, but I'm sure they added that to make the guy sound like a clueless loser. Therefore, it never made sense to me for them to add a female Bug-type gym leader. Sure, there are definitely girl trainers with bug Pokemon (e.g. the twins in Budsy's gym), but they don't LOVE bugs, do they?

I think the reason why everyone thought Bugsy was a girl has to do with the haircut and art style.

Bugsy as a girl, I was all "OMIGD someone put a shirt on that girl!" on this fanartt of him at the beach XD

Silver as a girl in Gen 2... COMON looks like he wore a cheerleader skirt, nya~

I almost died when I read "OMIGD someone put a shirt on that girl!". I thought he was a girl, too, until I had a call on the Pokegear stating that Bugsy was a boy. I also used to think Saturn was a girl, and so did an old friend of mine. When I called Saturn a he, she yelled (and I quote), "That chick is a dude?!". XD

Am I the only one who didn't mistake Bugsy or Tate's gender? O_o
The only one I can think of is Harley from AG Anime. I think that was the only one I made a mistake on.
